I have been reading about melanoma again and I can’t seem to find any good treatment options again for this type of skin cancer.  I am asking anyone out there for information on the latest treatments for melanoma.

We all need support as we travel this road called cancer.  There is cancer support available, just choose what you want and who to work with.  I help people every day decide what they should do next or a product to use.  Some times it is just listening.  We all need someone we can trust.

When I was healing from skin cancer, I needed help and didn’t know where to turn.  I actually paged through the phone book looking for people to help me.  It’s a little different today with the vast information on the internet.  But even that is overwhelming, because who is real, who is a scam, what do you trust, what products are just hype?????

So many questions…….

So now we know there are things we can do to prevent cancer and/or be a cancer survivor.  So many people don’t believe they have control over their health and cancer.  We do.  We have more control than we think.

We have been talking about a lot ways we can survive cancer.  These are also the ways you can prevent cancer. 

1. Keep your immune system strong .  Building the immune system is key. We know stress affects our immune systems and we know our thoughts and beliefs and emotions affect it.  We also know that foods we eat can affect it, and the chemicals we ingest or are exposed to affect the immune system.  There are excellent products and supplements now available you can take to build your immune system.

2. Minimize stress

3. Listen to your body

4. Eat organic foods

So what happens to our cells filled with these negative energy emotions.  The cells break down……….They get tired………They start to slack off……………….They can’t perform their functions as efficiently as they use to……They become cancer.

(Interesting……Have you ever felt like this like these cells….Many people live their lives feeling like this)

But when your cells are not doing what they are suppose to…..your body starts to break down and you are in Dis-ease.

Then they tell you, you have a disease and then label it as cancer, MS, etc…. 

So we do have control over how we deal with negative energy.  We can carry it around with us and let it affect our health or we can let it go.  Negative energy can be any experience, feeling, emotion, relationship, or thought.  When we identify with the negative energy and carry it with us and relive it and react to it over and over, it will affect our health.

We are more than our physical bodies……………….to be healthy we have to address our body mind and spirit.

I know, I know I have repeated this over and over.  But I started the past couple discussions on building your immune system and how critical it is in being a cancer survivor.  Then we talked about what things affect the immune system and that stress degrades the immune system. 

We don’t naturally think that stress or other feelings affect our health.  They do.

Anger we carry around with us has to be stored somewhere.  Where is it?  Is it in our head?

Think about something you have been angry about.  How does it feel?  Can you feel the anger in your head, in your body?  Do you feel tense?  How about your muscles, are they tighter?

I just woke up with the most amazing experience!

Throughout my cancer experience, I had a tremendous amount of pain, fatigue, nightsweats and the load of symptoms all of us have when dealing with cancer.  And they really suck, don’t they? 

I would wake up for years in the middle of the night with these awful symptoms and feelings.  Sometimes it would get so bad I would be so anxious, sad, hurting, etc., I would jump out of bed thinking I could run away from it.  I couldn’t……….It only made it worse.  Of course at the time I didn’t know that.   I didn’t know how I was continuing the cycle of pain by giving it more attention and then living in the past pain.

Last night I woke up with the same feelings I had for 10 years.  My body hurt and I was having a night sweat and felt that anxious awful feeling.  My first reaction was to get up and run, just like the past. 

Yesterday I talked about stress and how it affects our health.  What stress comes from is different than most of us think.

Our past is a HUGE part of our life.  We create every day of our lives based on the past.  And that means the good stuff in your past and your bad stuff.  We have these memories that we use as our model of what we will do today.  We reenact the say stuff over and over in our lives, often unconsciously, and we create stress and all kinds of health issues for ourselves.

AND we don’t really know we are doing it.

The immune system is one of the key steps in becoming a cancer survivor. The health of your immune system is affected by many things. I will be highlighting a few so that you can start healing.

According to Dr Bruce Lipton, PhD, cellular biologist and author of the New York Times Bestseller The Biology of Belief, concluded that 95% of all illness is created by stress.

Now you may say to yourself, “What’s the big deal? That’s not so radical! We’ve all heard about stress related illness for years. ” And, you would be absolutely right. However… What is radical, what is truly a “big deal”, is this:

Stress does NOT come from outside sources!!!
You read that right… Stress does not come from things like:
• Jobs we hate,
 • Stacks of unpaid bills,
 • Messy relationships, or
 • Pain-in-the-neck relatives.

 Interesting report on skin cancer…….

What do you think?  Write a comment…..

According to an Oct. 15 Associated Press article, an 8-year study of more than 100,000 Scandinavian women between 30 and 50 yielded an undeniable correlation between regular artificial tanning and the incidence of melanoma. Among the studies’ shocking (to the medical establishment, not me) findings were these:

-Women over 30 who salon-tanned once a month or more increased their risk of developing melanoma by 55%.

-Women under 30 who UV-baked once monthly saw their likelihood of developing melanoma skyrocket by approximately 150%!

-The risks were identical for women of similar age regardlessof hair color – a factor some in the mainstream deem significant in determining melanoma risk.

William Campbell Douglass II, MD points out that exposure to sunlight doesn’t actually cause skin cancer. That actually a lack of sunlight can lead to skin cancer because that lack leads to a vitamin D deficiency.

Cancer cells have been created in our bodies from the beginning of time.  Our immune system is responsible for finding and destroying cancer cells.  If our immune system is not working at 100%, cancer cells can survive and grow.  Our immune system was created to assist our bodies in healing itself.

Our life style and environment contribute to our weakened immune system.  Every day we are exposed to excessive amounts of toxins in our air, offices, homes, products, food, etc.  We are exposed to poor quality food that’s full of pesticides and now foods are irradiated and genetically modified too.  We live lives full of activities and stress. Our bodies weren’t designed to process and handle all of this.  Our bodies start to break down and one system that is affected is the immune system.
